Hello! I have been asked where my 'mysterious, yet intriguing' header picture is from.
Well, its the ROC post at Avebury, Wiltshire, which has been open since at least 2009, I am led to believe. The site was one of numerous Royal Ordnance Corps' posts in the UK, this one in use from June 1961 to September 1991. Located at SU1038469221, it is in a farmers field on private land. The interior is flooded and vandalised (naturally). The hill on which the post is located overlooks the stone circle and avenue at Avebury, plus Silbury Hill (the largest man-made mound in Europe), and is deep in the heart of crop circle country.
It is my opinion that this part of Wiltshire is steeped in mystery and intrigue (apparently) and is just one the most fabulous parts of the country. Why go abroad when you have such an incredible amount to do in good old Blighty!
